Blacktown and District
Historical Society Incorporated

Welcome to Blacktown and District Historical Society Incorporated

Formed in August 1976 to preserve the heritage of Blacktown and its surrounds, and to document its history in books and periodicals.

The Society meets monthly and is entertained by guest speakers with interesting accounts of history in Blacktown and beyond, anecdotal talks and Powerpoint presentations. Members are kept informed of society events through our monthly newsletter Turret Talk, the quarterly journal The Turret, and through this website.
